Crazy Love

Chris McClarney's “Crazy Love” is a worship song about the size of God's love. The verses ask for closeness: “Pull me closer with Your gravity, the weight of who You are,” and “Take me out beyond what I can see, the reaches of Your love.” The language leans on sound and space, with melodies falling from eternity and mystery to wonder at.

The chorus declares that nothing can undo what God feels for people. “There's nothing that can change it, Your love, Your love. There's no one that could tame it, Your crazy love.” It ends with a question, “What could separate us from this crazy love?” The second verse looks at God's power: he spoke everything into existence, holds it “between Your fingertips,” and is still “so intimate.” That leads to lines about what his love can do, asking “what can break addiction, what can heal diseases.” The closing lines say that miracles are everywhere and that nothing is impossible. The song is slow and builds gradually, so it suits a service where people want time to take in the words.

Nothing separating us from God's love is Romans 8:38-39. Nothing being too hard for him is Jeremiah 32:17, and the width and depth of his love is Ephesians 3:18-19.
